Research summary
Antibacterial dental biomaterials

Research

My research interests cover design, characterisation, in vitro and in vivo testing of biomaterials. I am particularly interested in the fabrication of hydrogels, xenografts, 3D printed and electrospun scaffold with regenerative and antibacterial properties via incorporation of bioactive and antibacterial compounds such as silver nanoparticles, chitosan nanoparticles, antibacterial oils and extracellular matrix proteins.
